There is no way I'd buy anything rural without extensive inspection of well and septic, foundation, property, etc.

In the last 15 years I've purchased in both Toronto and in rural Ontario with the full set of conditions; financing, inspection, etc. As a buyer I simply won't do it otherwise. We have a 6 acre hobby farm near Hamilton.

But I also just don't bother to go look at properties with language in the text like "Accepting offers on...". We won't play the multiple offers game. In Toronto maybe this is the only way to get a home, but we were able to avoid it there back in 2005 by just hunting in areas that weren't "cool."

My experience is there's always almost other places that come up, where the seller has more scruples.

We might sell our hobby farm soon. I would fully expect any potential buyer to demand inspection.
